[Rick V]

Okay Jim, here is how my alcohol induced self inflicted Rick tar-tar event went down. I had an old Nissan D21 pick up that my son broke the frame on so I decided it would be cheaper for me to simply replate the frame than replace the truck. I was finishing up some welds on the inside of the frame above the rear axle and had to jam myself under the axle to get the wand to reach it's target. (remember I was drunk) and I stitched the seam together and flipped my visor up to wait for the smoke to clear so I could inspect the weld. as I lay there watching the smoke increase I realized the flannel shirt I was wearing was the source of the smoke I was seeing. I was stuck and only had the use of one arm since I had wedged myself under the axle. I put myself out with a fresh beer I had just opened before the fiasco. I didn't need to go to the horse-pistol, only had some blistering but I learned a few lessons. Flannel is not fire retardant, always leave yourself a way out, don't let my son play with a 4X4
